UPDATED: The Murder of Leslie Spellman (Maine)

You’ve heard Leslie Spellman’s story on Dark Downeast before. I was initially compelled to tell Leslie Spellman’s story because I couldn’t believe a homicide on the perimeter of Maine’s most well-known national park could go unsolved for over four decades and I couldn’t believe I’d never heard her story before. That was reason enough to shed new light on it the first time, and it’s even more of a reason to revisit it now.Since the first airing of this episode, a family member of Leslie Spellman reached out to me. Leslie’s cousin Margaret only met Leslie once in her life when they were just children, but the fact that her family member was murdered and that it remains unsolved is something Margaret cannot shake. Margaret wants to take action and seek answers for her cousin, Leslie.More is happening behind the scenes as Margaret and others in Leslie’s family prepare to bring new attention to the case, so I’m re-airing this episode of Dark Downeast to help in their efforts. View source material and photos for this episode at darkdowneast.com/lesliespellmanFollow @darkdowneast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokTo suggest a case visit darkdowneast.com/submit-case Dark Downeast is an audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.
